Cooking with Cast-Iron Skillets & Co.: Culinary Tips
Whether using a cast-iron skillet on an induction cooktop or a cast-iron Dutch oven in the oven: to get the absolute best performance out of this super-material, it is best to follow a few simple tips.
- Give cast iron plenty of time to heat up slowly before adding your food
- Feel free to turn off the heat source early – the material retains and releases plenty of heat.
- When searing or frying, use a highly heat-resistant oil with a high smoke point.
- Avoid thermal shock, which can be caused by pouring cold water into hot cast iron.
- Keep in mind that acidic foods will react with traditional, uncoated cast iron.
